  2. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    A type of cable called litz wire (from the German Litzendraht, braided wire) is used to mitigate skin effect for frequencies of a few kilohertz to about one megahertz. It consists of a number of insulated wire strands woven together in a carefully designed pattern, so that the overall magnetic field acts equally on all the wires and causes the ...

  3. Penetrant (mechanical, electrical, or structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetrant_(mechanical...

    Penetrants, or penetrating items, are the mechanical, electrical or structural items that pass through an opening in a wall or floor, such as pipes, electrical conduits, ducting, electrical cables and cable trays, or structural steel beams and columns. When these items pierce a wall or floor assembly, they create a space between the penetrant ...

  4. Cable theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_theory

    Later, cable theory with its mathematical derivatives allowed ever more sophisticated neuron models to be explored by workers such as Jack, Rall, Redman, Rinzel, Idan Segev, Tuckwell, Bell, and Iannella. More recently, cable theory has been applied to model electrical activity in bundled neurons in the white matter of the brain. [1]

  5. Proximity effect (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_effect...

    This is the case in AC electrical power cables, which have two wires in which the current direction is always opposite. In this case, since the current is opposite, from the right hand rule the magnetic field (B) created by the lefthand wire is directed downward through the righthand wire, instead of upward as in the other drawing.

    An injury caused to people or animals by electric current. electrical cable A flexible conducting wire to carry electrical power or signals, usually covered with an insulating material. electrical code A set of regulations for the use of electricity; they may vary from municipal to international in scope. electrical conductivity

  7. High-voltage cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_cable

    High voltage is defined as any voltage over 1000 volts. [3] Those of 2 to 33 kV are usually called medium voltage cables, those over 50 kV high voltage cables.. Modern HV cables have a simple design consisting of a few parts: the conductor, the conductor shield, the insulation, the insulation shield, the metallic shield, and the jacket.

  8. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

    The first rubber-insulated cables for US building wiring were introduced in 1922 with US patent 1458803, Burley, Harry & Rooney, Henry, "Insulated electric wire", issued 1923-06-12, assigned to Boston Insulated Wire and Cable . These were two or more solid copper electrical wires with rubber insulation, plus woven cotton cloth over each ...

  9. Ground loop (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)

    A common example is two electrical devices each connected to a mains power outlet by a three-conductor cable and plug containing a protective ground conductor for safety. When signal cables are connected between both devices, the shield of the signal cable is typically connected to the grounded chassis of both devices. This forms a closed loop ...
